your poem is a wonderful example of life today. Meaning everything you get or recieve charish it dont be ungrateful for nothing. and dont let your miscellaneous problems such as: Jewery, clothing-name brand, Fly cars, etc. Everyone that seems happy are more less the miserable.

In life, not everything is as it appears. Some things are not appearant at all, but they hold the most value, like roots they remain unseen or unnoticed. No glitter, just gold... kind of like this poem.

The symbology may run much deeper than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. What Tolkein may have been communicating (my interpretation) is that there are things that are so much more valuable than the 'glitter' that many men chase.

I also believe he may be making reference to his Christian roots - 'The crownless again shall be king, ' possibly speaking of the prophecy of Christ's return to reign on earth. (Many know King Aragorn as this symbol as well.)

This is an excellent, simple poem that is very inspiring and motivating. I hope everyone can enjoy the power of the words without worrying too deeply about the symbology.
